colorspace
Hue encoding system
A colorspace is a system for representing colors numerically, defining the range and organization of colors that can be displayed or reproduced.
Different colorspaces serve different purposes: RGB for screens, CMYK for printing, HSL for design work.
Converting the image from sRGB to Adobe RGB expanded the available colors.
When colors look different across devices, mismatched colorspaces are often the culprit.
